The Medical Women Podcast

This week we have another live podcast episode from our recent Spring conference. Professor Partha Kar is a Consultant in Diabetes, Diabetes Lead for NHS England and heavily involved in the MWRES - the medical workforce race equality standard. In this talk, Partha spoke to us about the data, and how it's important to gather data but then do something with the data to make change. Our patients are a diverse population and so are our work force - it is up to all of us to make things more inclusive and diverse for our colleagues and patients. We have a very special announcement to make - we have made membership to the MWF only £5 for all medical students!

Hello! Sorry the podcast is a bit late this week, Nuthana was working nights and had changeover to a new hospital and didn't quite manage to get the episode sorted to come out on time. She's embracing being a recovering perfectionist and accepting that it's better late than never! She also knows that you will understand and forgive her - she's trying to model that it's ok to be imperfect and that looking after herself is also important.  This week we're thinking about careers and the questions we should ask ourselves, with career coach Laura Cloke. Laura guides us through the things we should consider when we think about our careers, how to find what we enjoy and the importance of thinking of ourselves as a whole person.  We hope you enjoy the episode!  **MWF International's Women's Day Raffle **  It's IWD on 8th March and the MWF conference on the 17th March. We'll be drawing a raffle at the conference, and 80% of proceeds will be donated to the Tearfund Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal.

On the podcast, we like to have conversations that we need to have but might not have elsewhere.  This week, our guest is Ms Evelyn Mensah (Evie), a Consultant Ophthalmic surgeon and part of the medical workforce race equality standard (MWRES). Evie is committed to tackling inequalities, particularly pertaining to race. In this episode, we discuss how we can all call it out and call it in.

Hello! Hope you are all well on this cold, crisp February morning. We’ve covered money mindset and wealth previously on the podcast, but with the cost of living crisis, we thought it would be helpful to touch on finances again. This week’s episode is with bestselling author and wealth coach Barbara Huson. Barbara joins us to share what she has learnt from her own life and through the research for her books and from coaching her clients. From studying neuroscience, Barbara realised that people could ‘rewire’ for a wealth mindset. As medics, we can apply this to discussions on habits with our patients too.

This season has been all about leadership, and a large part of being a leader is looking the part. Sadly women are judged far more on their appearance than what they say or do. Looking like a leader is a really important aspect of leadership. This week our guest is stylist and author Lizzie Edwards, whose book ‘Look like the leader you are: a 7 step style strategy for ambitious women’ has just been released as a second edition! Lizzie shares her insights on common reasons why women go to her for help, why it’s important that we think about our style, and the 7 steps through which we can develop our own personal style.

International medical graduates make up a huge proportion of the NHS workforce, and as we heard a few weeks ago, are more likely to be SAS doctors.

Does General Medical Council equate to Fitness to Practice in your head and cause palpitations? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. At medical school, we get taught little else about the work of the GMC. But what do the GMC actually do, and what does being the Chair of the GMC involve? In this episode, our guest is Professor Dame Carrie MacEwan, Chair of the GMC. We discuss the wider work of the GMC and how it supports patients and doctors. We also discuss how the GMC and individuals can work to drive change in inequalities associated with GMC referrals.

Hello! Are you familiar with the term SAS doctor? SAS doctors make up 30% of the medical workforce, and yet, many of us have no idea what the term means. Thankfully, our guest this week is here to educate us. Dr Anthea Mowat is a retired Associate Specialist in Anaesthesia, and also our wonderful MWF Honorary Secretary.
